lyrics

It’s a song for the road
Snakey stretch of tar
Concrete and gravel
Stretching near and far
Those highways and byways
Lovely scenic routes
From the mazes of our cities
To the desolation south
For every stretch of road
There was a civil engineer
And a crew to lay it down
Through the heat
and the dirt
Through the years
They blasted through the bedrock
With sticks of dynamite
They dug the mighty tunnels
Worked all day and night
I was thinking about a bridge
That stretched across a gorge
And all the time it took
For the steel to be forged
For every stretch of road
There was a civil engineer
And a crew to lay it down
Through the heat
and the dirt
Through the years
Yeah for every stretch of road
There was a civil engineer
And a factory crew
To forge the steel
To build the bridge
Through the years
